“All data collected by the DMV that identifies noncitizens is shared with ELECT, which uses it to scrub existing voter rolls and remove noncitizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote,” Youngkin wrote. “According to data from ELECT, between January 2022 and July 2024, records indicate we removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls.”
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is threatening to prosecute a resident for “spread[ing]” what has been labeled as “misleading or false” election-related information, according to a “cease and desist” letter reported Tuesday. This comes just days after The Federalist revealed Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is urging residents to report their neighbors for so-called “election misinformation.”
AMichigan Court of Claims judge ruled Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s guidance on absentee ballot signature verification violated the state’s constitution and ordered it removed in a final order signed on Tuesday.
In the ruling, Judge Christopher P. Yates, an appointee of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, reiterated that Benson’s “’initial presumption’ of validity in signature verification of absentee-ballot applications and envelopes mandated by the December 2023 guidance manual issued by defendants is incompatible with the Constitution and laws of the State of Michigan.”
Election Watch has compiled thousands of examples of a recent pattern that consists of elderly women making tens of thousands of donations of varying amounts to Democratic candidates and progressive activist groups.
The problem is, a donor who is listed as having made 25,000 donations of varying amounts needed, assuming three minutes per donation, would have to do nothing but make contributions 24/7, for 52 days. No bathroom breaks, no meals, no sleep.
Nobody in their right mind would do that, of course, but consider the odds of how long it would take a 75 year-old woman to make 25,000 individual donations. Extend the time for each donation from three minutes to five minutes and the total of days required working 24/7 goes up to 87.
And we haven't even mentioned the additional fact that the contribution totals for legions of the donations compiled by Election Watch are substantial. The first entry for Virginia, for example, totals nearly $840,000. //
Here's a theory: Somebody (China? Russia?) is providing millions of dollars to big groups of individuals being paid to submit donations of varying amounts using names of elderly folks gleaned from old FEC records via Act Blue and/or other contribution conduits. Do the candidates or causes know this is being done? That's one of the key questions to be answered. //

I assume it’s called “smurfing” because it only happens for blue (i.e., D) candidates?
In its Thursday order, approved on a 2-1 vote, the court reversed last month's decision by a "motions panel " that blocked certain voter registrations. That panel "misunderstood the extent of confusion and chaos that would be engendered by a late-stage alteration to the status quo of Arizona's election rules," Judges Kim McLane Wardlaw and Ronald Gould wrote. //
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen vowed to seek an emergency stay from the U.S. Supreme Court "to make sure only American citizens are voting in our elections."
Since the 2020 Covid election, the USPS has effectively become the largest “precinct” in our elections with little citizen observation. But recent incidents, reports from the USPS Office of the Inspector General, and independent investigations have revealed that the USPS may not be prepared to handle the volume of vote-by-mail ballots this November.
As recently reported in The Federalist, the USPS Election Mail system apparently created a major problem in the June primary election in Utah. According to local election officials, hundreds of ballots that were purportedly mailed before the vote-by-mail cut-off were not processed by USPS in time to meet the “postmark” deadline, making those ballots ineligible to be counted in the election.
This incident in Utah is a symptom of a nationwide problem with the USPS Election Mail system.
A left-wing nonprofit that interfered in the 2020 election to Democrats’ benefit is coaching election offices on how to address concerns about leftist oligarchs’ silent coup to replace Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.
On Tuesday, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) sent an email to its newsletter subscribers highlighting Biden’s Sunday exit from the 2024 race and informing election officials that “voters and media outlets will be looking to you for guidance in the coming weeks, and you will play a powerful role in shaping this emerging story.”
‘The public deserves answers for how this Executive Order is being implemented, particularly as VP Harris becomes the new nominee,’ Rep. Bryan Steil said. //
President Joe Biden may have left the presidential race, but “Bidenbucks” lives on.
And you can bet your federal tax bill that the Biden administration will be revving up the taxpayer-funded, get-out-the-vote machine for not-so-accidental candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I think they definitely will,” Hans von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission and manager of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative, told me in an interview this week. “I think what they’re doing is an unlawful use of federal taxpayer dollars, and I don’t think any president has the right to do it.”
Documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project expose federal agencies working with left-wing activist groups in targeting traditionally Democrat voters to cast mail-in ballots for Biden’s No. 2 in November’s election. And there appears no slowdown in the constitutionally suspect initiative now that Biden has withdrawn from his reelection run and endorsed his leftist lieutenant.
Sixty-two percent of likely voters are concerned that the 2024 election will be marred by cheating, a new survey finds.
Democrats’ success in removing Biden from the ballot should serve as a wake-up call to normie America about the security of our elections.
If you need further proof that Democrats will go to extreme lengths to rig elections in their favor, look no further than the silent coup that occurred Sunday, when it was announced that Joe Biden would not seek reelection this November.
Voters in Arizona who register with the state and do not provide proof of citizenship will be rejected.
Contrary to the New York Democrat’s claim, the naming of contingent Republican electors during the 2020 cycle was neither unprecedented nor unlawful. In fact, the process conducted in contested states such as Georgia parallels a similar endeavor that took place during the 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. //
As my colleague Jordan Boyd previously highlighted, Democrats and their media allies had no problem “calling for electoral disobedience” after Trump won the 2016 election. In an effort to keep Trump out of office, so-called “news” outlets ran “[a]rticles demanding state electors ‘prevent an irresponsible demagogue from taking office’ and overrule Americans to install Hillary Clinton as president.”
“With all-mail voting, we’re counting on the Post Office, and the Post Office is notoriously a giant federal government bureaucracy that’s not running efficiently,” Powers said. “We’ve turned our elections over to it, and now we see the consequences of that.”
The Power of One Vote
The Power of One Vote, Your Vote. Use It.
By the Smallest of Margins…
In 1800 – Thomas Jefferson was elected President by one vote in the House of Representatives after a tie in the Electoral College.
In 1824 – Andrew Jackson won the presidential popular vote but lost by one vote in the House of Representatives to John Quincy Adams after an Electoral College dead-lock.
In 1845 – The U.S. Senate passed the convention annexing Texas by two votes (27/25).
In 1846 – President Polk’s request for a Declaration of War against Mexico passed by one vote.
In 1867 – The Alaska purchase was ratified in the Senate by two votes: 37-2, paving the way for future statehood.
In 1868 – President Andrew Johnson was Impeached but not convicted because the Senate was one vote shy of the necessary two thirds required.
In 1876 – Samuel Tilden won the presidential popular vote but came up one electoral vote shy and lost to Rutherford B. Hayes.
In 1941 – Congress amended the active-service component of the Selective Service Act from one year to two-and-a-half years by one vote, 203 to 202.
In 1948 – A Texas Convention voted for Lyndon B. Johnson over ex-Governor Coke Steven in a contested Senatorial election.
In 1962 – Governors of Maine, Rhode Island and North Dakota were elected by an average of one vote per precinct.
In 1977 – Vermont State representative Sydney Nixon was seated as an apparent one vote winner, 570 to 569. Mr. Nixon resigned when the State House determined, after a recount, that he had actually lost to his opponent Robert Emond 572 to 571.
In 1989 – A Lansing, Michigan School District millage proposition failed when the final recount produced a tie vote 5,147 for, and 5,147 against. On the original vote count, votes against the proposition were ten more than those in favor. The result meant that the school district had to reduce its budget by $2.5 million.
In 1994 – 1.1 votes per precinct in Alaska elected Tony Knowles as Governor and Fran Ulmer as Lieutenant Governor out of 216,668 votes cast in the General Election.
In 1994 – Republican Randall Luthi and Independent Larry Call tied for a seat in the Wyoming House of Representatives from the Jackson Hole area with 1,941 votes each. A recount produced the same result. Mr. Luthi was finally declared the winner when, in a drawing before the State Canvassing Board, a ping pong ball bearing his name was pulled from the cowboy hat of Democratic Governor Mike Sullivan.
Just One Vote
An Election Challenge
Author

One voter in each precinct of the United States will determine the next president of the United States. One vote. Thats a big weapon you have there, Mister. In 1948, just one additional vote in each precinct would have elected Dewey. In 1960, one vote in each precinct in Illinois would have elected Nixon. One vote.
One morning in 1844, a grain miller from DeKalb County, Indiana, was walking toward his mill. It was Election Day, but he had work to do and did not intend to vote. Before he reached the mill, however, he was stopped by friends who persuaded him to go to the polls. As it happened, the candidate for whom he voted won a seat in the state legislature"by a margin of one vote.
Now, when the Indiana Legislature convened, the man elected from DeKalb cast the deciding vote that sent Edward Allen Hennegan to the United States Senate. Then, in the Senate, when the question of statehood for Texas came up, there was a tie vote. But who do you suppose was presiding as president pro tempore? Hennegan. He cast the deciding vote from the chair. So, Texas was admitted to the union because a miller in DeKalb County, Indiana, went 10 minutes out of his way to cast...one vote.
More? Thomas Jefferson was elected president by one vote in the Electoral College. So was John Quincy Adams. One vote gave statehood to California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington. The Draft Act of World War II passed the House by one vote.
Over 200 million Americans are eligible to vote this year. Less than half will. Plato said it: The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. So your vote is important. Historically, you use it...or you lose it. If you're not sure for whom you should vote, turn to a newspaper you can trust. Because everything we've won in 10 wars at the point of a gun can be taken away one vote at a time. Edmund Burke said it another way: All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in this world is for enough good men to do nothing.
The Republican-controlled House voted 221-198 Wednesday to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, known as the “motor voter law,” to require that states obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship from someone before he or she may register to vote.
Five Democrats voted for the legislation, but 198 Democrats voted against it.
President Joe Biden opposes the legislation and it’s not likely to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate, where Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, sponsored a companion bill.
“Over the past four years, Joe Biden has welcomed millions upon millions of illegals into the country knowing that noncitizens only have to check a box to vote in a federal election,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a public statement. “We have long known this was an intentional effort to turn them into voters, and now the American people know where every member of Congress stands on this critically important issue.”
No seriously. He said this.

“Marc Elias is in the business of defending the riches of a disastrous elections system with universal vote-by-mail that are sending ballots automatically to thousands of bogus addresses,” Adams added.
This article is the 11th installment of the VICI Report, a comprehensive multi-part series exploring the sophisticated use of technology in political operations. This series aims to uncover the processes, mechanisms, tools, and technologies used by Democrats to master our political processes and to develop strategies which answer and ultimately defeat their manipulations in 2024 and beyond. //
Democrats have leveraged the ERIC system and state data feeds to gain real-time access to ballot information, allowing them to track whether ballots have been received, cast, and returned.
This data advantage provides an unprecedented capability to influence election outcomes by focusing efforts on aligned non-voters and ensuring these ballots are cast and counted. Republicans, lacking similar access and real-time processing capabilities, are at a strategic disadvantage.
Past elections provide clear examples of these vulnerabilities. In 2020, Matt Braynard's analysis, now scrubbed from search engines, identified potential large-scale fraud through statistical and data irregularities as well as mismatches in voter information. His findings demonstrated how errors in data management could be exploited to introduce fraudulent activity at scale.
The ability to track individual ballots and their status within the system, from receipt to return and tabulation, has revolutionized vote management. This capability, integrated into Democratic vote management apps and platforms, provided an unprecedented advantage in 2020. //
A current concern involves the use of the HAVA (Help America Vote Act) database, managed by the Social Security Administration, to verify new voter registrations. News reports by Tim Pool of Timcast and others indicate that unknown actors in states like Texas and Missouri are attempting to register tens to hundreds of thousands of new voters each week, with many thousands to tens of thousands rejected, indicating these individuals are deceased.
This anomaly suggests a potential organized effort to register large numbers of illegal migrants, particularly in states experiencing high immigration flows. The scale and consistency of these errors highlight the vulnerability of the registration process to systematic manipulation.
